| editor’s letter |
What’s your favorite holiday
tradition? Growing up, I
had a lot of them. My parents’
annual gingerbread house
party where friends, family,
and neighbors would fill our
house with cheer as we decorated the edible
abodes with brightly colored candy; hiking
through Snowy Peaks to hunt down the perfect
pine tree, followed by a fireside cup of the
farm’s complimentary cocoa; and waking up
Christmas morning to a half-eaten plate of
cookies and carrots, seeing my stocking stuffed
to the brim (with practical things like socks and
scrunchies!), and unwrapping presents in PJs
before devouring a big brunch. Yep, Christmas
as a kid was pretty magical.
As an adult, some of the magic has certainly
slipped away. But now, with offspring of my
own, my family's forming new traditions and
recreating the ones above in hopes that my kiddos' Christmas memories are just as
merry and bright.
Whatever season of life you’re in—empty nester, new parent, pet parent, etc.—I can
assure you that this issue is full of festive ways to celebrate the actual season.
For people whose month isn’t completely packed with parties and other
Christmassy commitments already, turn to our community calendar (page 30) for
holiday performances and parades aplenty, plus tree lightings, visits with Santa, toy
drives, and more. After pressing pause on in-person events the past few years, the
holiday hoopla is back and better than ever.
If you’re like me and don’t start Christmas shopping till it’s almost too late, fret not.
Our “Holiday Gift Guide” (page 68) has ideas for everyone on your list—cool kids, furry
friends, fashionistas, foodies, homebodies, and self-care seekers. The best part? All 50+
finds are sold at mom-and-pop places or made by area artisans. Empty your Amazon
cart and #ShopLocal this year. Side note: Most of the featured businesses offer online
shopping and free delivery, too.
Considering sugar and spice is a big part of what makes Christmas nice, I encourage
you to check out “Make it Merry” (page 94), featuring home-based bakers’ mostrequested
recipes to sweeten the season. Bring out the butter, pull out the parchment
paper, and dedicate one full (preferably rainy) day to baking things like coffee-glazed
molasses cookies and pecan-topped toffee. The finished
“Traditions
products make for a perfect present, too!
Finally, in “Making Spirits Bright” (page 90), local
touch us,
mixologists share their top winter warmers, including
they connect our cover cocktail, “Bad Santa,” whose ingredients
us, and they
include some of my favorite things (coffee, candy
canes, and Irish cream). Gather with your booze-loving
expand us.”
buddies, turn up the Christmas tunes, and toast to the
most wonderful time of the year. Cheers!

Women
Winemakers
by NELLY KISLYANKA
Did you know only 17.8% of winemakers in the U.S. are
women? Luckily, three local ladies aren’t letting those
odds stop them from pursuing their passion. As
winemakers, they’re involved in every step: fruit
selection, deciding which wines to produce, and
giving the go-ahead to begin harvesting grapes. Let’s
raise a glass to these women working hard to produce
the perfect glass of wine.
Kari Hazen
Rancho Roble Vineyards,
340 Fleming Road, Lincoln,
916-645-2075, ranchoroble.com
Since acquiring Rancho Roble Vineyards
with her husband in 2017, Kari Hazen has
worked tirelessly to grow the vineyard into
the thriving business many enjoy today.
First and foremost, she considers herself
a student of winemaking, investing time
into learning from her peers in Napa. For
Hazen, making good wine is more than
hard work; it’s about having fun.
How did you get into winemaking?
I bought a winery and literally got my
hands dirty in the vineyard. Now, my hands
are stained from winemaking!
What are the three most critical things
you’ve learned in making quality wine?
You must have excellent fruit that meets
your criteria; cleanliness is next to holiness;
and, finally, plan ahead and think about
each step to ensure you produce wine
your customers will love.
Favorite surprising or unexpected food
and wine pairing? Pumpkin pie and
chardonnay—so amazing!
What, for you, makes a good wine? One
that is well-balanced, fruit-forward, and
finishes smoothly.
What makes your wines unique? They
highlight the quality of the fruit and aren't
overly complex—just fruit-forward and
crisp with a smooth finish.

get to know
Emily Haines
Terra d’Oro, 20680 Shenandoah
School Road, Plymouth, 209-245-6942,
terradorowinery.com
Emily Haines brought her skills and
knowledge of winemaking to Terra
d’Oro in 2017. Before then, she was with
Wahluke Wine Company in Washington,
serving as director of winemaking for the
company’s Milbrandt Vineyards. Today,
her experience, passion, and degrees
in biotechnology and biochemistry are
helping to refine the next generation of
Terra d’Oro’s terroir-driven vino.
How did you get into winemaking?
I grew up thinking I would become a
scientist or a doctor, but after pursuing
a science degree and working in the
biomedical field for a few years, my path
steered me into wine. What began as
an interest in tasting and the process,
turned into me becoming a lab tech
and working my way up. I came to Terra
d’Oro in 2017 at the prospect of working
with new varieties in a new-to-me
region. It has been an honor to put my
winemaking stamp on the wines here.
What are the three most critical things
you’ve learned in making quality wine?
Patience—waiting for the grapes to ripen,
waiting for the juice to spend the right
amount of time on the skins, blending
until it's just right, and releasing the wine
only when it’s ready; balance—of flavors
in the wine, tannin perception, and oak
impression; and [intuition]—trusting
yourself and your gut to make the right
decisions.
Favorite surprising or unexpected
food and wine pairing? Unagi (eel) with
barbera, but my favorite everyday pairing
is anything barbecued with zinfandel.
What, for you, makes a good wine?
I feel that a great wine contains four
qualities that can be perceived in the
glass: fresh fruit, minerality, spice/herbs,
and structure.
What makes your wines unique? All in
all, our wines at Terra d’Oro come down
to balance. I try to create wines that will
please the newest of wine consumers
and the restaurant sommeliers—always
aiming for approachability and ease of
enjoyment.

Tatiana Vander Velde
Polynesian Girl Wine, 6020 Grizzly
Flat Road, Somerset, 530-344-4788,
polynesiangirlwine.com
Tatiana Vander Velde co-owns
Polynesian Girl Wine and oversees
the vineyard’s extensive operations.
She can be found amongst her
vines daily, talking to her plants
and nurturing them with music.
Her deep respect and connection
to the land are the foundation of
her vineyard management and
winemaking philosophy.
How did you get into winemaking?
My father is a hobbyist wine
and beer maker. After trying his
blackberry wine (which our family
still talks about!), I decided I wanted
to make wine, too. He showed me
that anyone can make great vino.
What are the three most critical
things you’ve learned in making
quality wine? You need quality
grapes; you need to enjoy doing
it; and you should have a good
supply of beer in your fridge while
winemaking.
Favorite surprising or unexpected
food and wine pairing?
Chardonnay and crunchy peanut
butter!
What, for you, makes a good
wine? A good wine is when you can
enjoy it with family and friends. I also
prefer a wine that has a full body,
structured mouthfeel, and a long,
balanced finish. An "aha!" wine for
me was a 2003 Mondavi Reserve
Merlot. I was on a cruise with my
family enjoying an amazing dinner
and when I took a sip of it, I truly fell
in love.
What makes your wines unique?
I make them from bud to bottle and
don’t use any pesticides or herbicide
in the vineyard. I also don’t hire
anyone; I just have my awesome
family and friends who come every
year to help me harvest. We pick
the grapes at 3 a.m., have a coffee
break by 8 a.m., and then process
the grapes before the sun is high up.
Our wines are an expression of labor,
love, family, and friends.

Know Your Trees
Stuck on which tree you want to bring
into your home for the holidays? Read
the brief below for a description of
trees commonly offered. Who knows…
maybe you’ll even branch out this year
into something new.
Douglas Fir
Possibly the most
recognizable Christmas
tree, the Douglas Fir
has been the most
popular species since
the ’20s. They’re typically very full and
have excellent symmetry.
Noble Fir
Another popular
option is the Noble
Fir, which has long,
deep bluish-green
needles and is dense
and very symmetrical.
Nordmann Fir
With its soft needles
and resistance to shed,
the Nordmann Fir is
perfect for hanging
ornaments. This is also
a great option for those sensitive to
smell as this tree lacks fragrance.
Silvertip
The Silvertip is a unique
tree, as the branches
are spread out, offering
the perfect space to
display ornaments.
They are bluish green in color; the silver
refers to its silvery new growth.
White Fir
Also known as
Concolor Fir, the White
Fir makes an attractive
Christmas tree for
its pyramid shape
and needle retention. Plus, when the
needles are crushed, they release a
delicious citrus scent.

Reinventing the Wheel
SPOTLIGHT ON
CERAMICISTS
by NELLY KISLYANKA
A craft that’s more than 20,000 years old, ceramics
is a versatile medium whose form, function, and
purpose vary vastly. A handful of local artists are
pushing boundaries and breathing new life into
the age-old art. Here are four ceramicists whose
handmade wares you’re sure to get fired up about.
Sandy Hilton
sandyhiltonpottery.com
Sandy Hilton is primarily a
functional potter, creating
pots, bowls, and other
useful goods that are
equally beautiful as they
are bright. Now retired,
the former community
and cultural services
manager for the City of
Folsom teaches at the Folsom
Art Center, where she shares
her passion for pottery with a
myriad of students.
Why do you love ceramics?
I’ve always been intrigued with
the feel of the earth between my
fingers. There are so many parts
to creating a ceramic artwork,
from forming the shape to
firing the clay and finally
glazing the work and firing it
again. Opening a freshly fired
glaze load is always exciting;
[you never know] if the kiln gods
[will be] good to [you]!
How do you avoid artists’
block?
I think all artists get a
degree of block from time
to time, but I always seem
to bounce out of it when I
see the work of other artists
or the enthusiasm of new
students.
What inspires you?
Much of my inspiration
comes from the natural
world—spending time
traveling and seeing
different cultures and
landscapes.
Marianne Waterstradt
mendedbeauty.com
Marianne Waterstradt
specializes in kintsugi, the
Japanese art of repairing
broken pottery by mending
the areas of breakage with
lacquer that’s dusted or mixed
with powdered gold, silver, or
platinum. According to the
artist, “Creating [these] pieces
help remind us that while we
experience events that make
us feel broken; once mended,
we’re more beautiful than we
were before.”
Why do you love ceramics?
It’s not the ceramic itself that
I love; rather, it’s the joy and
healing that comes from
transforming something that
was once broken and useless
into something more beautiful
and stronger than it originally
was.
How do you avoid artists’
block?
When I find myself “stuck”
on how to proceed with a
piece, my first step is to lay
down and begin meditating.
While my mind is clear, I try
to imagine the history of the
piece. From this open space, I
can usually envision ways in
which to mend it so that each
imperfection is highlighted
and made beautiful.
What inspires you?
I’ve received broken pieces
from around the world, and
the stories that accompany
them are always deeply
intriguing. One piece came
from a tribe deep in the
jungles of New Zealand;
another one from Paris; and
another from Africa. Each
piece I work on has a life that
has been temporarily dimmed
by its breaking. My inspiration
comes in seeking to reignite
the beauty of the original
pieces so they continue to lend
joy to future generations.

Brian Hayes
& Sarah Murray
hmpottery.com
Brian Hayes and
Sarah Murray
aren’t only a
couple; they create
functional pottery
together, too. From
vases, bowls, and
teapots, to platters,
mugs, and more
(Sarah also makes
handmade stoneware
and raku buttons;
available at the
Placerville Art Gallery),
their hand-glazed,
wonderfully whimsical
clay creations are both
rustic and elegant.
Why do you love
ceramics?
Sarah: For me, it really
comes down to the medium’s
natural substance and the
endless possibilities you
can create with it, the very
natural ways it can be fired,
and how it’s forever changed
after doing so. I also love
how it can become
your favorite bowl or
mug—a cherished,
useful, tactile, and
aesthetic part of one’s
everyday life.
Brian: You get to play
in mud and get dirty,
work with fire, and
create things that are
useful for people
to enjoy.
How do you avoid
artists’ block?
Sarah: I do
something else—
explore in nature
or play with clay
and see what
happens.
Brian: I go trout
fishing or work in
the garden.
What inspires you?
Sarah: The natural world;
I find inspiration in the
patterns, textures, and
designs all around us.
Brian: Time spent in the
mountains.
Dita Lewis-
Panter
cowgirlditapottery.com
Full-time potter Dita
Lewis-Panter creates
“artistically functional”
pieces, like chopstick
bowls, bottles, and
lidded jars. According
to the artist—who was
introduced to, and
fell in love with, the
medium back in high
school—“The spiritual
aspect of creating
something from a lump
of clay is profoundly
calming.” Currently, her
work can be found at the
Sacramento Fine Arts
Center and Art League of
Lincoln.
Why do you love
ceramics?
There’s just something
about getting my hands
in the clay. The feel of it
spinning
through my
fingers can
be quite
meditative.
It keeps me
present and
centered.
How do
you avoid
artists’
block?
Watching
artist demos on social
media usually inspire
me to get back at it. Also,
seeing finished pieces at
an art walk or in a gallery.
Sometimes, just looking
at nature and thinking
about a texture that
would look good on a pot.
What inspires you?
Being out in nature.
Whether it’s textures on
tree bark, grasses, or
leaves, they all inspire
designs. When it comes to
glazing, the ocean, stormy
skies, or rocky bluffs all
influence my work. Lately,
vibrant lights (like those
seen at concerts) have
caused me to experiment
with achieving richer
saturations.

half as likely to re-enter the foster care system later. As a volunteer,
you can make all the difference for a child who has experienced

ME, MYSELF, & I
7 Challenges
Simple Self-Care
by CAITLIN MCCULLOCH
Self-care has always been an important
component to mental health, yet many of us
take care of everyone but ourselves. We asked
local experts how to implement “me time” into
our modern day lives. Here are a few ideas
to get inspired—challenge yourself to try
one that feels right for you!
1
TAKE ACTION WITH AFFIRMATIONS
“Write a positive statement for something you
would like to change and say it 10-20 times a day for one
week until it's memorized. The next week, write a new
one and repeat the process. What you think is how you
feel. Change your thoughts, and you will change [your
life].” Therese Sorrentino, LMFT, theresesorrentinomft.
com
2
LOVE YOURSELF
“Accept the truth that you will never eliminate
the sabotaging part of yourself (I’m too lazy; I don’t
have time; I’m not good at this stuff; Other people are
more important, etc.). Instead, say to yourself, “Even
though I’m stressed and failing at self-care, I can totally
love myself for where I am in this moment. I can fill my
heart with love right now…presently.” Make more space
in your heart by expanding your chest or imagining the
feeling of opening. Actively being loving toward yourself
automatically becomes easier and more available for you.
Start slow, expect small results, and believe you’re building a
steady core of self-care reliance you’ll benefit from.” Jenifer
Novak Landers, Life Coach, fullyexpressedpotential.com
3
BE PERFECTLY IMPERFECT
“Perfectionism is exhausting, not to mention
impossible to obtain. When nothing less than perfect is
the goal, we end up feeling like a failure every time. If
you struggle with perfectionism, try exposing yourself
to being perfectly imperfect. Challenge yourself to wear
mismatched socks, pick your favorite nail polish color
instead of what’s in fashion, or donate something from
your closet that doesn’t reflect who you truly are.” Holly
Spotts, PsyD, fullcupwellness.com

4
STAY GROUNDED
“When implementing anything,
it’s always best to start out small; we
have the greatest success when it’s
sustainable. What makes you feel like
you? When do you feel recharged?
Reflecting on what is already working
or what might be draining your energy
is a good place to start. Finding ways
to feel grounded are some of the best
ways to care for yourself. Ideas might
include a slower morning by waking 30
minutes earlier, sipping your favorite
tea, journaling, yoga, stretching, or
listening to your favorite playlist or
podcast. Choose one and implement
it each day.” Ashlee Janzen, LMFT,
ashleejanzenlmft.com
5
JUST BREATHE
“Even 5-10 minutes a day can
make a big difference. There are many
great meditation apps out there to help.
I teach every patient I see to breathe,
relax their body, and meditate. It will
immediately calm down your nervous
system.” Therese Sorrentino, LMFT,
theresesorrentinomft.com
6
LIVE IN THE MOMENT
“How many times do you check
Instagram, email, or another app out
of habit? You catch yourself scrolling
and think, ‘Wait. I never consciously
chose to do this, yet here I am.’ If we’re
not careful, we can go through our
lives on autopilot—our body doing
one thing, and our mind somewhere
else, unsupervised, running amok.
Bring yourself back to the present
by connecting with yourself as you
move from one thing to another:
take a moment to check in when
you find yourself at the space in
between. How do you feel? What do
you want to do next? Where are your
thoughts? Being present puts us back
into the driver’s seat. We can move
from one thing to the next because
we choose to, not purely out of habit.
The more we practice (and it is a
practice!) being present and checking
in, the more in touch with ourselves,
others, and the world around us
we become.” Nancy Ryan, LMFT,
relationshiptherapycenter.com
7
USE YOUR HANDS
“If you’re a person who
constantly uses your brain, try giving it
a break during your down time by using
your hands instead. Working with your
hands [texting and typing don’t count!]
will give your mind a chance to relax and
reset, leading to less stress and an overall
better mood. You might try cooking
a new recipe, cleaning out a closet or
drawer, or tending a garden.” Holly Spotts,
PsyD, fullcupwellness.com

Take a Hike
Bootjack Camp to Stinson Beach
by RYAN MARTINEZ
LOCATED IN:
Mill Valley.
DISTANCE:
4.4 miles point to point; 8.8
miles out and back.
DIFFICULTY LEVEL:
Moderate.
KNOW BEFORE YOU GO:
The hike from Mill Valley
to Stinson Beach isn’t
terribly difficult, but the
steep descent down to the
coast will become more
challenging and tiresome
on the way back up, so
make sure you have some
gas in the tank. There are
also shuttles that will bring
you back if the trek seems
like too much. Wear shoes
with traction, dress in
layers, bring plenty of water
and snacks, and practice
Leave No Trace ethics.
WHY WE LOVE IT:
When snow is piled high in
the Sierra, great hiking is
only a short drive away, and
the Mill Valley/Muir Woods
area has some of the best
and most beautiful scenery.
FUEL UP:
When you walk 4.4
miles out of the woods
directly to Breakers Café
(stinsonbeachbreakerscafe.
com), a quaint beachside
eatery with a spacious
heated patio, do you have
to think twice? Seafood,
tacos, and American fare all
await—with cocktails and
draft beers to boot. Closed
Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

4 Pros of
Trekking
Poles
I used to think trekking
poles were trite, until
I started guiding
professionally in Torres
del Paine National Park in
Patagonia, Chile. Hiking
the steep terrain daily for
months taught me that
the pros of poles outweigh
the cons. Here are four
reasons to consider using
them.
1
Protect your knees on
steep descents. Your
knees will thank you for
the added support.
2
Increase your speed
and power. Having the
extra push will make
you stronger and
faster, especially on
uphill climbs.
3
Aid balance on uneven
terrain. Having trekking
poles is like an extra set
of limbs; they especially
come in handy crossing
streams.
4
Improve your posture.
Improving your posture
will help your back, your
endurance, and even
assist in breathing,
thus improving overall
performance.
Do
you have a
favorite trail in the
region you’d like to see
featured? Tell us all
about it at
info@stylemg.com.

reen burial is a meaningful, affordable and
G sustainable way of interment. Set amongst the
rolling foothills of Placer County, a 160-acre nature
preserve is home to meandering trails and old oaks. This is
Morgan Oaks Eternal Preserve, a serene area for green
burials, complete with exquisite natural beauty to honor a
loved one’s memory.
Green burial has been a popular alternative to conventional
burial that allows you or your loved one to return to
the earth naturally after passing. “Although an age-old
tradition, it has become better known for reducing the
use of toxic materials and preservatives that may pollute
the earth”, says Mark Heintz, co-founder of Morgan Oaks.
“Our green burial services include full-body interment,
cremation remains burial, remains scattering and memorial
tress so we can meet the needs of all those that are
environmentally conscious.”
Morgan Oaks doesn’t look like a traditional cemetery.
Visitors won’t see rows of tombstones but rather Interment
Gardens surrounded by walking trails, oak trees and riparian
areas throughout the preserve. As you move along through
this deeply personal journey, we at Morgan Oaks want you
to know that we’re here every step of the way. For more

COOL STUFF
Take a Spİn
To all the bicyclists reading—sorry!—this isn’t a story
about cycling. It’s about one of life’s greatest pleasures:
listening to vinyl.
by TERRY CARROLL
I recently wrote about
putting a good basic
audio system together,
but what comes after you
have the amplification and
speakers covered? If you
want to start listening
more critically and like
the idea of spinning
records, then it’s time
to talk turntables.
Vinyl is back in a big
way, and for good
reason: It’s one of
the most enjoyable
hobbies. Opening
the album, reading
the liner notes, laying it down on
the turntable, and dropping the
tonearm—BOOM! It’s real, it’s alive,
and it sounds spectacular.
I have several turntables—both
in my home and workplace—all of
which work well and sound great
(albeit different) and come at
different price points. I often hear
the comment: “Don’t they all sound
the same?” No, they don’t. Firstly,
we all hear differently, and secondly,
all audio gear has different sonic
signatures based on their parts and
engineering. It’s like saying all cars
are the same. Yes, they all get you
from point A to point B, but how they
do it is why we buy it. Does anyone
think a Honda Civic can be compared
to a Porsche 911? Some might, but
they clearly see cars as tools, not
engineering marvels.
Speaking of Porsche, the turntable
pictured here, the EAT-C Sharp,
is one I’ve had
the pleasure
of using for the past few weeks. I
refer to Porsche, because of the
product’s engineering and overall
design. From the moment I opened
it, it felt luxurious; every aspect just
felt right, including the speed control
module and connectors. Mounted on
the exceptional tonearm was the EAT
Jo No5 Cartridge, another item I’d
been wanting to demo. The combo
didn’t disappoint! I sat listening to Lyle
Lovett’s 12th of June and
Lyle was in the room—just
voice and music—superb.
Not only did the turntable
perform at a level higher
than expected, but it now
ranks in my top three
and costs far less than
the other two. At $7,200
with the cartridge, it’s not
an entry-level piece of
gear, but then neither is a
Porsche 911.
As for speakers, I recently test
drove a pair of Wharfedale
Lintons. In a word? Sublime.
They disappear, which (in my
opinion) is the goal. I’ve been
listening to a lot of Tom Petty
lately and recently purchased
the remastered Wildflowers. It’s
a recording I know well; however,
in this system, with the EAT-C
Sharp and the Wharfedale
Lintons, I felt like I was hearing
it for the first time. Whether
you’re listening to rock, jazz, or
classical, the Lintons can do it all,
but what stood out for me were
the voices. I played a favorite
album next, Sinatra-Basie, and
that’s when I knew these speakers
were something special. What’s more,
their exquisite look and matching
stands are perfection—akin to the
interior of a custom Jaguar. BTW—I
bought them—I couldn’t let them go!
These products found a forever
place in my home. It’s one of the
perils of writing about gear this
good, but darn it, somebody has to
do it!

ASK THE
EXPERT
by BELLA NOLEN
WHAT MAKES
A GREAT
MATTRESS?
European certified natural
and organic components
Ergonomic German
engineering
Handcrafted in California
Q: WHAT SHOULD
I LOOK FOR WHEN
CHOOSING A
THERAPIST?
A: It depends on the person
seeking treatment and their
concern(s). The most important
thing is to find someone who
has experience dealing with
the specific issue(s) you, or
your family member, may be
experiencing. If it's for kids,
then look for someone who
sees children and adolescents.
If it's an addiction issue, then
find a therapist who specializes
in chemical dependency. It’s
especially important when
seeking marriage counseling
to find a therapist who has a lot
of experience and training in
dealing with couples, as not all
licensed therapists do. Don't
be afraid to ask questions to
help you decide. And once you
find someone, the benefits are
endless. You’ll gain new insights
and perspectives into your
problems while learning some
new tools and coping skills, too.

Deck the Halls
by EMILY PETER-COREY
DIY
Holiday
Décor
When it comes to holiday décor there’s nothing better
than putting your own spin on it. We spoke to several
design (and DIY) experts who suggested easy ways to
celebrate the season in style.
Select your ring of choice (grapevine,
wire, etc.).
Attach your bundles all the way to the
desired ending spot.
Create small bundles of your chosen
ingredients and attach them to your
ring with floral wire. Secure them tightly
because they like to slide.
Strategically place a loose, romantic
silk ribbon bow, so it will hide your
jointing spot and add visual interest.
Cindy Magan, owner and lead
designer at Hillside Blooms Floristry
(hillsidebloomsfloristry.com), shares her
steps for creating a custom wreath that is sure
to have guests asking where you purchased it.
"Wreath making is not as hard as you would
think. With a few easy tools and a bit of elbow
grease, anyone can make their very own
custom wreath,” explains Magan.
The More the Merrier
When it comes to decorating your home
for the holidays, Cathy Tonks, founder and
interior designer at Designs With You In Mind
(designswithyouinmind.net) suggests bringing
outdoor elements inside. Below are some tips for
incorporating natural elements into your home.
• Dress up doorways, tablescapes, and fireplaces
with full, lush garlands—real or fake.
• Decorate with small potted pine tree plants
or pine sprigs to add a natural, organic feel to
your home.
• Add a festive pop of Christmas color to any
wreath, fireplace, or staircase by adding bright
red holly berries.
• Embrace texture and think outside the box by
using succulents. Their clean lines work well
during the holidays, and each variety offers a
unique, fun texture. You can even spray them
with glitter or add gold foil!
• Transform unconventional items, such as
globe vases, by adding a cheerful Christmas
scene or snowman inside. Amp up the
holiday flavor by placing the vase on top of a
round wreath base.

For a traditional style wreath, Chelsea
Edman, owner and designer at The
Wild Olive (thewildoliveflorist.com),
takes us through creating a full
wreath perfect for winter. “I prefer
using an assortment of greenery
for a beautiful combination of
textures while greeting your guests
with lovely scents like pine, cedar,
juniper, fir, redwood, rosemary,
and eucalyptus. All of these winter
greeneries are long-lasting and will
hold up well through the holiday
season.”
Step 1: Start with a wreath form,
greenery, floral wire, and wire
cutters. (The easiest wire to work
with is floral wire on a spool so that
you can use the same continuous
wire.)
Step 2: Start pulling your
greenery and see what
combinations you like together and
start making small bundles. Cut the
stems to the same length.
Step 3: On your first bundle, hold
the base and wrap the floral wire
around the bottom of the bundle
tightly twice, so it's nice and secure.
Then, lay the bundle on the wreath
form and tightly wrap the wire
around the form.
Step 4: Make another bundle,
trim the stems to the same length,
lay it directly on the wreath form,
and wrap the wire around the base
of the bundle and the wreath form
to make a strong bond between
the two. The closer the bundles, the
fuller and more uniform the wreath
will look. Make sure that the wire is
fully covered so that it doesn’t show.
Step 5: Continue to make bundles
and add them to the wreath form
one at a time until the wreath is
filled with greenery. When you get
to your last bundle, cut the wire
so you have several inches to work
with. Then, wrap the wire around
itself several times and tighten so
your greenery stays secure.
Step 6: Add pinecones, ribbon,
dried elements, or anything that gives
it the aesthetic you’re looking for and
attach with hot glue or wire.

BETTER CARE FOR YOU
The Best Exercises
for Your Joints
Keep your joints healthier by incorporating these
activities into your workout routine.
Your joints allow you to run, jump,
twist and turn. In fact, nearly every
movement you make is made possible
by the functioning of one or more joints
in your body. From your knees and hips
to your shoulders and wrists, joints play
a vital role in your life. That’s why it’s
important to take care of them as much
as possible.
As you age, your joints are subjected to
wear and tear. Joints can also be affected
by injury, overuse or conditions such
as arthritis. While you can’t control all
factors that influence how well your
joints work, there are steps you can take
to keep your joints as healthy as possible.
SPECIAL AD SECTION
One of the best ways to keep joints
healthier is to exercise regularly and
engage in daily activities like walking
and stretching. Exercise increases the
flexibility of joints and keeps muscles
that support joints stronger.
Here are the best exercises to do to keep
your joints in tip-top shape:
• Aerobic exercises — To ease strain
on your joints, stick to lower-intensity
activities like walking, biking, using
an elliptical trainer or swimming.
Avoid high impact exercise such
as jumping or running, especially
on hard surfaces like sidewalks or
streets, if you have joint pain or have
experienced any deterioration in joint
function.
• Strength training exercises —
Whether you use free weights, gym
equipment, resistance bands or your
own body weight, strength training
helps keep your muscles strong so
they can better support your joints.
Just don’t overdo it or you risk
injuring both muscles and joints.
Proper form is important when doing
any strength training exercise.
• Flexibility exercises — Activities
such as yoga, tai chi and pilates help
joints maintain flexibility so they can
go through their full range of motion
without pain. These activities are
low impact and can be performed
by almost anyone, regardless of age
or fitness level. Tai chi is especially
helpful for older adults because
it helps maintain better balance,
reducing the risk of falls.
• Stretching exercises — To loosen
joints and muscles, stretch before
and after aerobic and strength
training activities. Stretching before
activities helps get the blood flowing
and loosens stiffness in muscles and
joints. Stretching after activities is
ideal because muscles and joints are
more flexible, muscles are warm and
circulation is increased.
“Variety is key when your goal is to
keep joints healthy. Include aerobic,
muscle strengthening and flexibility
exercises in your workout routine.
Stretch multiple times a week.
Don’t overstress joints by doing the
same activities day after day—cross
training adds variety and is good
for your joints and muscles. Stick to
lower-impact activities, especially
if you have been experiencing any
pain. Maintaining a healthy weight
and avoiding injury as much as
possible are other ways to support
optimal joint health,” says Marshall
Orthopedist Taylor Vance, MD.

From Pandemic
to Endemic
Adapting to Life with COVID-19
While the virus hasn’t gone away, here are tips
to navigate our new normal.
In early 2020, our worlds were turned upside
down when the COVID-19 virus was labeled a
pandemic, causing disruption and upheaval
to life as we once knew it. Thankfully, life has
returned to some sense of normalcy, even
though the virus is far from being gone.
The best way to describe the current state of the
COVID-19 virus is that it’s on its way to reaching
endemic status. This means the disease is still
around (and is expected to remain indefinitely),
but is not causing significant disruption to our
daily lives. Hospitals are no longer reaching
critical capacity. Schools and businesses are
not closed. But there’s still the possibility of
contracting the virus and getting sick.
Endemics are nothing new. There are many
viruses that are endemic in our community,
including influenza (the flu), rhinovirus (the
common cold) and respiratory syncytial virus
(RSV). These viruses circulate and get people
sick but they don’t stop us from living our lives.
That’s what we’re facing with COVID-19, too.
What do we do if COVID-19 is endemic?
We live with endemics by protecting ourselves
as much as possible. “In the case of COVID-19,
that includes getting vaccinated and boosted
as recommended. Immunity from vaccinations,
as well as from natural infection, wanes over
time and does not guarantee you won’t catch
the virus. But data shows vaccines do a good
job of protecting against serious illness,
hospitalization and death so they’re still worth
it,” says Brian Goldsmith, MD, Marshall’s Chief
Medical Officer.
Having treatment options available also helps
us deal with endemics. People at high risk who
contract COVID-19 may be advised to take a
drug like Paxlovid to reduce symptoms and
lower the chance of serious illness. As different
variants of the virus emerge and our knowledge
about the disease increases, other treatments
options will likely be available in the future.
While we would like to imagine a world where
COVID-19 doesn’t exist anymore, that is not
our reality. That means we have to find ways to
go about our daily lives in as close to a normal
fashion as possible while taking steps to avoid
illness. These tips can help protect you from
being severely impacted by COVID-19:
• Continue to get boosted. Updated vaccine
boosters will soon be available to better
protect against newer omicron variants.
Although it’s not known yet how often
boosters will be recommended, it’s likely
we’ll have to continue to get them regularly.
This is something we already do with other
viruses. For example, every year flu shots
are recommended. Other vaccines require
periodic boosters as well.
• Take precautions in high risk situations.
The same steps that protected you during
the pandemic will help you now. Steer clear
of anyone you know who has COVID-19
or those who appear to have symptoms.
Consider wearing masks when you are in
large crowds, especially indoors. Wash your
hands often.
• Boost your immunity. Take steps to keep
your immune system strong. Filling your
plate with healthy foods, exercising regularly,
getting enough sleep, not smoking and
reducing stress are all ways to boost your
immunity, so you can better fight COVID-19
or any other illness you may get. As an added
bonus, you’ll improve your overall health in
the process.

COVER STORY
Live Healthily
with Diabetes
“If you can change
your mindset and
you have a good
support system, you
can also change
your lifestyle.”
Laura Morris didn’t know she had Type 2
Diabetes when she lost consciousness at
her home last December. Six days later
on Christmas morning, she awoke at
Marshall Medical Center and learned she
was in diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA)—a
serious complication of diabetes that
develops when the body can’t produce
enough insulin to process high levels of
blood sugar.
“I could have died,” says the 61-year-old
Pollock Pines resident. “My husband
said that having me wake up was the best
Christmas present ever.”
Laura hadn’t recognized the warning
signs of Type 2 Diabetes, including a skin
infection that wasn’t healing. Extreme
thirst indicated that her blood glucose
levels were dangerously high.
She spent five weeks rehabilitating in
a convalescent center, dependent on
insulin to regulate her blood sugar.
These days, Laura no longer requires
insulin shots. She’s working with
Marshall’s Diabetes and Nutrition
Education team to manage her blood
sugar through a healthy diet and
frequent glucose monitoring. She’s
successfully lost weight by tracking her
food choices, controlling portions and
reading food labels.
“There’s no cure for diabetes—but I want
to help myself get better,” Laura says. “I’m
keeping a positive attitude. I believe if you
can change your mindset and you have
a good support system, you can also
change your lifestyle.”
Diabetes facts
With diabetes, the body either doesn’t
make enough insulin or can’t use it as well
as it should to let blood sugar into your
body’s cells for use as energy. Over time,
too much sugar in your bloodstream can
cause serious health problems, including
heart and kidney disease, loss of vision
and nerve damage in hands and feet.
One way to consider how diabetes affects
the body is by visualizing blood with high
sugar levels as thick and syrupy, which
makes it difficult for the blood to pass
through the tiny veins and arteries in our
eyes, kidneys and finger tips.
Diabetes affects more than 1 in 10
Americans, and 1.5 million people will
be diagnosed with it this year, according
to the American Diabetes Association.
Yet, many people don’t even know they
have this chronic disease. That’s why
it’s important to recognize symptoms
including changes in vision, tingling in
hands and feet, and lingering fatigue.
Get your A1C level tested regularly if
you’re at risk.
Type 1 diabetes comes on suddenly
and usually affects younger people. It
is not preventable and requires daily
insulin shots. Type 2 diabetes—the most
common type—develops over many
years and can be prevented or delayed
with healthy lifestyle changes.
Risk factors for Type 2 diabetes include
being overweight, not being physically
active, and being age 45 or older. Having
gestational diabetes, prediabetes, a
family history of the disease, or being
African American, Hispanic, Latino,
American Indian or Alaska Native also
contribute to the risk.
The good news: While there isn’t a cure
for diabetes, healthy lifestyle habits can
help manage blood sugar levels over the

Blood Glucose Monitors
Manage Highs and Lows
For those with Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes, a home
glucose monitor is a critical tool for tracking blood
sugar levels and providing valuable insights for
managing the disease.
Glucose levels can be tested at home with a
fingerstick device that uses a small drop of your
blood on a test strip, or you can use a continuous
glucose monitor (CGM), which takes the pain and the
hassle out of the process.
healthcare team. “There’s no such
thing as diabetes reversal, but you
can change your lifestyle enough
to lower your blood sugar, often
without medication.”
Diabetes and Nutrition
Education
Diabetes management is a high
priority at Marshall Medical Center.
“I refer patients to Marshall’s
Diabetes and Nutrition Education
program when they are newly
diagnosed or when they need help
to better manage their diabetes,”
says Dr. Neufeld. “The Marshall
team is a fantastic resource for
creating a plan to control diabetes
in a way that is truly individualized.
“A diabetes diagnosis can be
profound and scary, so it’s
important to have a support team,”
she adds. “There are emotional
and social adjustments as you
make lifestyle changes. It can be
challenging to change your diet,
learn to check your blood sugar
and take new medications.“
Marshall’s program offers a
team of physicians, registered
nurses, and registered dietitians
certified in diabetes and nutrition
education. They partner with
patients to develop a personalized
plan including diet, exercise and
medication recommendations.
“These people link arms with a
patient on their journey,” says
Rachel Peigh, RN, who works
with the Diabetes and Nutrition
Education program.
The team works with patients to
help lower blood sugar levels and
prevent diabetes complications
while living comfortable, full
lives. Patients are referred by
their healthcare providers to the
program, which is often covered
by insurance.
“We use practical approaches,”
says Rachel. “We’ll make tweaks
to your diet, without changing
everything. We’ll help you make
practical changes with things that
work for you, considering lifestyle,
medications, diet and exercise.”
Marshall also provides free Healthy
Living classes. Anyone seeking
help with diabetes management is
welcome to attend, and no referral
is necessary.
“I understand how some people
may be hesitant to try a new
program,” says Dr. Neufeld.
“Perhaps they’ve suffered from
diabetes for some time and they
may not understand the benefit of
having a diabetic nutritionist who
can make a difference. Our team
looks at a complete plan of care.
I urge patients to try the program.
It’s worth the time to attend even
that first meeting.”
For more information about
Marshall’s Diabetes and
Nutrition Education program,
call 530-672-7021.
With a CGM, a flexible filament sensor is placed just
under the skin to measure glucose levels 24 hours
a day and a transmitter sends results to a wearable
device or a smart phone. A GCM provides round-theclock
insights on hourly or daily changes in glucose
levels caused by factors including food, exercise,
medication, sleep and stress.
“A CGM helps us gather real-time information about
habits that affect blood sugar levels,” says Rachel
Peigh, RN, describing the experience patients have
in Marshall’s Diabetes and Nutrition Education
program.
“It gives us the details we need to make small,
sustainable changes. We look for things that can
affect overall glucose management. Sometimes
it’s as simple as changing the time you take your
medication,” she says.
Patients are often surprised by seeing the impact of
stress and sleep on glucose levels. (Stress increases
levels, and a good night’s sleep can lower them.)
Monitors also illustrate how even a 10-minute walk
can make a difference in lowering blood sugar.
“Glucose monitoring helps patients avoid having
high and lows. We can see which habits are affecting
fluctuations in blood sugar levels with the goal
of getting patients to steady levels—which helps
preserve eye health, heart and kidney function, and
nerves in fingers and toes,” Peigh says.
Several types of fingerstick glucose monitors are
sold over the counter at pharmacies and online, while
a CGM requires a doctor’s prescription. Both types of
monitors are available at Marshall Medical Center.
The cost of home glucose meters and test strips
varies. You’ll want to consider a device’s features,
ease of use, information storage and support that’s
available with your options. Choose a monitor that’s
best for you by speaking with your health care
provider or certified diabetes care and education
specialist, and check with your insurance carrier
regarding what’s covered under your plan.

“Do you believe in angels?” asked Marilyn
Schmidt, her blue eyes sparkling at the
thought. “I’ve come to know a lot of angels,”
she continued.
Self-sufficient at 92 years of age, she lives
independently in a tidy home overlooking
a serene lake. Marilyn still drives, “I have
driven for 72 years and never had a ticket
or accident,” she proclaimed.
Marilyn is spritely, active, and enjoys
spending time with her tightknit
community of neighbors. Her tribe
has gotten just a little bit bigger lately,
including caregivers from Marshall’s
Community Care Network (CCN). About
five years ago, Marilyn fractured 10
vertebrae trying to move a heavy appliance
by herself. Though she gets around ok, the
injury has had lasting effects.
Dr. Pete Barba has been Marilyn’s doctor
for the past 16 years. “He’s not just a doctor,
but a friend. Dr. Barba realized I did not
have as much support as he desired for me,
so he put me in touch with the Marshall
Hospital-funded Community Care Network.
Immediately more angels entered my

arranged home visits, facilitated treatments,
a pharmacist reviews her medication, and
a specialist works with Marilyn regarding
health goals and her care plan.
“Everybody I have met at CCN is so special.
They are interested in my wellbeing. They
call weekly to ask if I’m ok and if there is
anything I need,” she continued, “These are
the kind of people I want in my life.”
“I’ve been blessed with the most caring

Peace of mind is one of the greatest
benefits of getting your estate in order,
for the benefit of your loved ones and the
charitable organizations you support.
Consider managing your assets through
wills and living trusts. Both provide the
ability to distribute property and protect
your loved ones after your passing.
A living trust has the added benefit of
avoiding probate.
Everyone should have an up-to-date will
or living trust, carefully thought through,
and drafted by an attorney. With a will or
living trust you can:
•Maintain control and flexibility
•Provide for family and loved ones
•Distribute assets as you wish
•Choose an executor or trustee
•Nominate a guardian for dependents
You can also use a will or living trust to
support your favorite charity, including
specific programs or services you believe
in. Consider providing for the future
of healthcare in your community by
designating a healthcare organization
who has touched your life.

Try This
If You’re Depressed
to make your depression worse. If
you don’t have anyone you can talk
to, try building new relationships or
join a support group.
3. Take care of yourself. When you’re
feeling down, you may not want to
do much of anything, but the better
you can take care of yourself, the
better you’ll likely feel. Do your best
to eat healthy, exercise and sleep.
Get outside for a few minutes a day
to take a walk—the fresh air and
movement will do you good. Avoid
turning to alcohol or drugs to ease
your pain.
If you’ve been feeling sad or blue lately,
here are some tips that may help.
It’s natural to feel down on occasion.
Sadness is a normal reaction to life
events, such as the loss of a loved
one, a change in family status or a
tough situation. But if you find yourself
feeling down more often than not, or
you just can’t seem to shake your bad
mood, it may be a sign that you are
experiencing depression.
Depression isn’t something you can
easily snap out of. It may make you
feel sad, hopeless and miserable. You
may also have little energy or drive to
do anything about it. But although it
may be a difficult step to take, the best
thing you can do if you’re depressed
is to seek help.
Many people find it difficult to ask
for help. They may not even be sure
that what they’re experiencing is
depression and may not realize that
anything can be done to change the
way they feel. Even if you’re not ready
to begin any type of formal treatment,
there are still ways to cope with your
depression so you start feeling better.
Here are 5 steps you can take to
manage depression:
1. Get screened. If you’re not sure if
what you’re feeling is depression,
take an online quiz or talk to
your doctor. There may also be
counselors available through work
or school. You can be screened
for depression without having to
step foot in a therapist’s office.
Telehealth options are available.
2. Stay connected. Talk to people who
you feel comfortable with and can
trust. Open up to them as much as
possible about how you’re feeling
and ask for any support you need.
You may not feel like taking part in
social activities, but isolation is likely
4. Do things that make you feel
good. Push yourself to do things
you used to enjoy, even if you don’t
feel much like doing them right now.
Engage in a hobby, read, express
yourself through art, take a walk
through nature, play a sport, enjoy
live music or volunteer. Once you get
going, you may find that engaging in
pleasurable activities makes you feel
better.
5. Accept help. There’s long been
a stigma about mental health in
our society, but it’s important to
understand that depression is
common—and having it doesn’t
make you less of a person. The best
thing you can do is to understand
when you need help and to accept
the help that’s available to you.
Depression often requires treatment,
including medication and/or other
therapies. Finding the right treatment
may take some time, but be open
to trying different options until you
figure out what works best for you.
Contact your primary care provider
for a consultation or referral to a
licensed mental health professional.

For the tuna
lovers, the

held true.
”
Asian Sticky Ribs
Hawaiian Spiced Ahi Tuna
South
Fork
Grille
by RYAN MARTINEZ | photos by TAYLOR GILLESPIE
If you were new to the area, it wouldn’t take long to
uncover the El Dorado Hills Town Center. With a
bustling restaurant scene, beautiful surroundings,
and year-round community events, it’s the perfect
place for a foodie night out. South Fork Grille
perfectly upholds the prestige.
From the same owners as Land Ocean and Sienna, South
Fork Grille holds an air of sophistication that is on par with
the ambience of their sister establishments. You can see the
level of professionalism immediately from the staff, and you
can feel it in the environs of the subdued lighting; both set
the mood for after-work drinks with friends or a romantic
date night out.
My wife and I made early reservations, after being told
there was nothing else available, and walked into a near
empty restaurant. Not to fret—they assured us one of the
reasons we couldn’t get a later time was due to the number
of tables they reserve specifically for walk-ins.
Like clockwork, our server brought us menus, drinks, and an
appetizer suggestion—coconut curry steamed mussels—without
pause. The heaping serving was delivered within minutes,
alongside grilled crostini and a slightly sweet and spicy curry
that tempted us to grab the bowl and slurp it up. As discipline
compelled us, we politely (and enthusiastically) forked out the
last of the mussels as we placed our entrée orders.
Without delay, our Hawaiian spiced ahi tuna and Asian
sticky ribs arrived for a surf n’ turf combo to share. For the

tuna lovers, the server’s claim of the
“freshest tuna anywhere in the area”
held true. The line-caught tuna was
indeed fresh, lain upon a bed of red
curry macadamia nut rice and baby
bok choy—a nice, light coupling
after our appetizer.
The large plate of tender pork
ribs came lathered in house-made
hoisin barbecue sauce and a (maybe
not so) healthy serving of waffle
fries and peanut coleslaw. The
combination of big, bold flavors was
a great evolution from the mussels,
and kept us coming back for more.
A dessert menu arrived quickly,
and a recommendation was made—
one that may sit in my personal
record book of top sweet treats: ice
cream pie. Now, imagine this: an
Oreo cookie crust topped with a
coffee ice cream center that stood
nearly 10-inches tall with a thin,
dense layer of chocolate and drizzle
of caramel sauce—perfectly sliced
into a picture-perfect piece of pie.
That’s the dessert that arrived.
If you love the ambience of the El
Dorado Hills Town Center, the newly
added South Fork Grille should
immediately be added to your list of
must-visit dining destinations.

Pasta Zone is everything you want in a
restaurant…neatly tied up with a bow(tie).
(Sorry, bad pasta joke.) It’s family-run, everything is
made fresh daily, and you can build-your-own pasta dish or choose
one they’ve concocted themselves. It’s easy and fun! Step one: Pick
your pasta. Rigatoni, fusilli, spaghetti, fettuccine, or shells. Step
two: Select a sauce. Marinara, spicy red, pesto, or alfredo. Step three:
Cheese! Mozzarella, vegan, cheddar, or parmesan. Step four: Pick your
protein. Bacon, chicken, meatballs, or shrimp. Step five: Throw some
veggies on top. Broccoli, roasted peppers, eggplant, mushrooms, or
tomatoes. From there, they put your delicious dish into the oven till
it's golden brown and bubbly. Pasta Zone is ideal for families because
everyone gets exactly what they want. One of my daughters had basic
buttered noodles; if she’s happy, we’re all happy. My other daughter
built her own dish with rigatoni, alfredo sauce, parmesan cheese,
shrimp, and mushrooms. If you’re a mac & cheese fan, you won’t
know what to do. They have bacon mac & cheese, pepperoni mac
& cheese, buffalo chicken mac & cheese, and one called “Fire Plate,”
which has hot sauce and jalapeños. Just don’t forget the bread (they
have homemade garlic knots and garlic bread) and a beverage (like
the refreshingly cool “slushy of the day”)! — by JULIE RYAN

Make it Merry
Festive Sweet Treats by
MEGAN WISKUS
From cookies and toffee to brownies and bread, these festive recipes are sure to
brighten, and sweeten, your holiday season.
Holiday Toffee
Submitted by Sugar Sweetery, Rancho Cordova,
sugarsweetery.com @sugar_sweetery
@sugarsweetery
Toffee is a classic holiday treat—and making it is a great
tradition! Place some in a festive tin or in parchment paper
with a decorative ribbon or tag, and gift it to family,
friends, teachers, or coworkers.
INGREDIENTS
• 2 cups salted butter (room
temperature)
• 2 cups sugar
• 2 tsp. vanilla bean
paste (or extract)
• 2 cups
chocolate
chips
(white, milk,
or dark)
VARIATIONS
• Top with white
chocolate and
sprinkle with
cinnamon and sugar;
add chopped pecans
into the toffee and top
with dark chocolate and
a sprinkle of sea salt; add
sliced almonds into the
toffee and top with milk
chocolate and more sliced
almonds; top with sprinkles
and pretzels.
DIRECTIONS
Place softened butter in a large
pot and melt over medium heat.
Once melted, add in the sugar, and
stir until the mixture is combined.
Bring the mixture to a boil, but do
not stir it (stirring too much can cause it
to crystalize). You’re looking to see it change
to an amber color and will notice it thickening and
smelling fantastic—like caramel popcorn!
Reduce the heat to low and let it continue deepening in
color; you’ll want it to become a dark amber, which can take
5-10 minutes depending on your stovetop. If you have a
thermometer, stick it into the mixture and wait until it reaches
290 degrees. Once it reaches temp, turn off the stove and move
the pot off the burner.
Add in the vanilla and nuts, if using, give it a good
stir, and spread the mixture evenly across a
parchment-lined 9x13-inch cookie sheet. Let it
rest for 5-7 minutes.
After the toffee has cooled just a bit,
add your choice of chocolate
chips, let them melt for 3
minutes, and then take
an offset spatula and
spread the melted
chocolate evenly over
the toffee.
Sprinkle with your
toppings of
choice and
let the toffee
completely
cool for
5-6 hours or
overnight.
Once cooled,
cut it with a knife
or break it apart
with gloved hands.
TOP BAKING TIP:
Use salted butter
in dessert recipes;
it helps cut the
sweetness of the treat
and adds more flavor!

Cranberry Orange Dessert Loaf
Submitted by Sugar Mill Bakery, Auburn, sugarmillbakeryca.com

My mom loves cranberry orange
scones, so I created this loaf with her
in mind! I wanted an after-dinner
option that mimicked the breakfast
treat she adores. This recipe is also
great for sharing or can be made
into mini loaves for holiday gifts.
INGREDIENTS
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• ½ tsp. salt
• 1 tsp. baking soda
• ⅓ cup oil
• ½ cup brown sugar
• ½ cup sugar
• 1 tsp. vanilla extract
• ½ tsp. orange extract
• 1 tbsp. orange zest
• 1 egg
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1 cup dried cranberries
GLAZE
• ½ cup powdered sugar
• 2 tsp. orange juice
• Water
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Combine flour, salt, and baking soda
together in a small bowl.
With a handheld or stand mixer,
combine the oil, brown sugar, sugar,
vanilla extract, orange extract, and
orange zest. Add in the egg.
Alternate adding in flour mixture and
buttermilk in 3 parts, ending with
the flour. Mix until combined. Fold in
cranberries.
Pour into a greased or parchmentlined
9-inch loaf pan. Bake for 45
minutes or until a toothpick comes
out clean from the middle.
Make the glaze by combining
powdered sugar, orange juice, and
enough water until it reaches your
desired thickness. Pour over the loaf
when it’s completely cool.
TOP BAKING TIP: Use room temperature
ingredients. The extra time you
spend to let your ingredients come
to the same temperature will help
to create a beautiful (and delicious!)
product.
Mexican Hot Chocolate Brownies
Submitted by Ruby Made, Orangevale @rubymadeco
As a kid, my best friend’s
dad would often make us
Abuelita hot chocolate. It was
always a special memory,
so I still love incorporating
flavors of cinnamon into
desserts whenever I can.
INGREDIENTS
• 1 ½ cups (180g) flour
• 2 tsp. cinnamon
• ¼ tsp. nutmeg
• ⅛ tsp. cayenne powder
(add more if you want
more spice)
• 4 large eggs (room
temperature)
• 1 ¼ cups Dutch-process
cocoa
• 1 tsp. salt
• 1 tsp. baking powder
• 1 tbsp. vanilla extract
• 1 tsp. espresso powder
or 1 tbsp. brewed coffee,
optional for enhanced
flavor
• 2 sticks (227g) unsalted
butter
• 2 ¼ cups (447g) sugar
• 2 cups (340g) chocolate
chips
• Cinnamon, for dusting
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350
degrees. Lightly grease a
9x13-inch pan.
Whisk together flour,
cinnamon, nutmeg, and
cayenne in a medium bowl.
Beat eggs together in a
large bowl with the cocoa,
salt, baking powder, vanilla,
and espresso powder/coffee
(if using) until smooth.
In a saucepan, melt the butter
over medium low heat. Once
melted, add the sugar, and
stir to combine. Continue
to heat, while stirring
occasionally, until the mixture
is hot but not bubbling. The
appearance will become
shiny as the sugar starts to
dissolve. This step will help
produce a shiny crinkle top.
Add the hot butter-sugar
mixture into the cocoa
mixture. Stir until smooth. Add
the flour mixture; stir until
combined and smooth. Add
the chocolate chips until just
incorporated.
Place the batter into the
lightly greased pan. Bake
for 26-30 minutes, until
the edges feel set and the
center looks moist but not
uncooked. Test the center
with a toothpick; you should
see moist crumbs inside but
no uncooked batter.
Remove from the oven and
let cool. Dust the top with
cinnamon before serving.
TOP BAKING TIP: Always weigh
out your ingredients. Not every
measuring cup/scoop is the
same. This helps your baked
goods stay consistent and
gives the most accurate result
when following a recipe.

Soft Amaretti Cookies (Italian Snowballs)

Stamped Coffee-Glazed
Gingerbread Cookies
Submitted by Teal Rabbit Bakery, Roseville, 916-345-4845,
tealrabbitbakery.com @tealrabbitbakery
Gingerbread has long been a tradition of the holiday season.
I love these cookies for their festive exteriors, soft centers,
holiday spices, and cozy coffee glaze. Enjoy a batch curled
up on the couch or by the fire.
INGREDIENTS
• 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tsp. ground ginger
• 2 tsp. ground cinnamon
• ¾ tsp. ground cloves
• ½ tsp. freshly grated nutmeg (or ground nutmeg)
• ½ tsp. baking soda
• ¾ tsp. salt
• ½ cup unsalted butter (room temperature)
• ½ cup dark-brown sugar (packed)
• 1 egg
• ¾ cup molasses
Crunchy on the outside, chewy
in the middle, and just enough
Amaretto to make them a little
boozy, these festive cookies are
naturally gluten-free and remind
me of my first trip to Italy during
the holidays last year.
INGREDIENTS
• 2 ¼ cups ground superfine
almond flour
• 1 cup sugar
• ½ tsp. salt
• 2 large egg whites
• 1 tbsp. Amaretto (almond
liqueur)
• 1 tsp. almond extract
• ½ cup granulated sugar (for
rolling)
• 1 cup confectioners’ sugar (for
rolling)
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line a
baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together
the almond flour, sugar, and salt.
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted
with the whisk attachment, whisk
the egg whites on high speed
until they hold stiff peaks. Add in
the Amaretto and almond extract,
and whisk to combine.
Using a spatula, gently fold
half the egg white mixture into
the almond flour mixture and
combine. Add the remaining egg
whites and mix until the batter is
soft and very sticky.
Using a small ice cream scoop
or a tablespoon, scoop out the
batter and roll into small balls
using your hands. Roll the dough
balls first into the granulated
sugar and then into the
confectioners’ sugar. Place on the
baking sheet about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 15-20 minutes until the
cookies look “cracked” and form
a crunchy exterior. The middle
should still be soft. Transfer to a
cooling rack and let cool for 10
minutes before enjoying!
TOP BAKING TIP: Always line your
baking sheet with parchment
paper or a silicone baking mat
(even if the pan is nonstick). This
will ensure even baking every time!

GLAZE
• ⅔ cup powdered sugar
• 4 tsp. coffee
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In medium bowl, mix flour,
spices, baking soda, and salt.
In a stand mixer, cream the butter and brown sugar on
medium high until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs and
molasses.
Reduce speed to low and add in flour mixture in half cup
increments until just combined.
Divide dough in half. Wrap and refrigerate for at least one
hour.
Make the glaze by combining the powdered sugar and
coffee.
After the dough is chilled, flour your work surface, and roll
it out to about ¼-inch thick. Press with a festive stamp and
then cut out with a circle cookie cutter or biscuit cutter. Place
on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for about
15 minutes.
Bake for 8-10 minutes. Let cool briefly, but glaze while still warm.
TOP BAKING TIP: Always gather all your ingredients and premeasure
them before getting started. This will help you stay
organized and ensure all your ingredients are at the proper
temperature.

Holly Jolly Ginger Molasses Cookies
Submitted by The Cookie Boss, El Dorado Hills,
510-690-7995, thecookiebossedh.com
@cookie_boss_edh @cookiebossedh
My favorite holiday story growing up was The
Gingerbread Man, so I love baking these ginger
cookies, decorating them with my son, and
recreating the fairy tale.
INGREDIENTS
• 2 sticks (226g) unsalted butter (room temperature)
• 1 cup (220g) sugar
• 1 egg (room temperature)
• 1 cup dark or light molasses (do not use cooking or
blackstrap molasses)
• 2 tbsp. white vinegar
• 5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 ½ tsp. baking soda
• 2 tsp. ground ginger
• 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
• 1 tsp. ground cloves
• ½ tsp. salt
DIRECTIONS
With a mixer on high speed, cream the butter for
about 30 seconds or until the sticks have lost their
shape. Add the sugar and beat until the mixture is
light and fluffy, usually 2-3 minutes (I use the paddle
attachment on my stand mixer). Scrape down
the sides as needed. Add the egg, molasses, and
vinegar to the butter and sugar. Beat to combine
well. The mixture will look a bit curdled; this is
normal due to the vinegar reacting with the egg.
In a separate bowl, gently mix the flour, baking soda,
ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and salt with a whisk.
Slowing add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients
in portions, and ensure all ingredients combine well,
just until the mixture stops sticking to the sides of the
mixing bowl. DO NOT OVER MIX. The dough should
be a little sticky and should come together when you
press it in your hands without crumbling.
Divide the dough into two even portions, roll out
each portion on parchment paper, place them both
(stacked), in a half-sheet baking tray, and cover the
tray with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 30-90 minutes.

When the dough is done chilling, preheat the
oven to 350 degrees. Working in sections, roll the
dough to ½-inch thick on a floured surface; cut into
desired shapes or use cookie cutters. Place shapes
on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a
baking mat. Gather and reroll "scraps" of dough as
needed, using all the dough.
Bake for 10 minutes, let the cookies remain on the
tray for 5 minutes, and then move to a cooling rack.
Once cooled, decorate with Royal Icing.*
